All in one toolkit for YouTube video/script generation

For 6 months, I was that person with 15 browser tabs open just to publish one YouTube video. vidIQ for competitor research. Runway for video generation. Descript for voiceover. Canva for thumbnails. Buffer for scheduling. ChatGPT for scripts. $127/month in subscriptions. 20+ hours/week in busywork. Got fed up and spent 3 months building one tool that automates the entire workflow.

--- viralvelocity.app

## What It Does:

* Competitor Intelligence* - Type your niche → instantly see top 5 creators - Analyze their viral videos, hooks, thumbnails - Data-driven content strategy (not guessing)

* AI Script Generation* - Analyzes competitor patterns in your specific niche - Generates scripts based on proven formats - Not generic ChatGPT—niche-specific scripts

* Video Creation (2 Methods)* - Image slideshow with transitions - OR Veo 3.1 AI video generation - Auto voiceover with multiple voices

* Thumbnail Generator* - AI creates thumbnails automatically - Or upload your face image once → adds it to all thumbnails - (Even faceless channels use face thumbnails for higher CTR)

* Channel Optimization* - Overall channel score (0-100) - Specific improvement suggestions per video - SEO optimization (tags, titles, descriptions)

* Auto-Scheduling* - Plan entire content calendar - Publishes videos automatically

## My Question for This Community:

As fellow YouTubers—would this actually help you? Or am I solving my own weird workflow problem?

Specifically: - What would you actually USE vs what's "nice to have"? - Is $79/mo fair to replace vidIQ ($39) + Runway ($30) + Descript ($30) + Canva ($13) + Buffer ($15)? - What am I missing that would actually matter for your channel?

---

## Full Transparency:

Solo dev, first SaaS product Built it for myself first, now testing if others need it Just launched this week—some features still rough around the edges I use it for my own channel (eating my own dog food) No fake testimonials or "make $10k/month" claims Early beta, bugs exist, support is slow (it's just me)

---

I'm not here to sell. Genuinely trying to figure out if this is worth continuing or if I should pivot/kill it.

Honest feedback appreciated, even if it's "this is stupid and here's why." Thanks for reading viralvelocity.app
